Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil (divided)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Blend Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, vanilla extract, and rolled oats into a high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the pancake batter base.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Pour the blended wet mixture into a bowl. Stir in the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt until fully incorporated, ensuring an even batter consistency.
  3. Preheat Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of avocado oil to lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking and aid browning.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the top surface and the edges begin to set, then carefully flip each pancake.
  5. Finish Cooking: Cook the flipped side for another 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Repeat this process with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is properly preheated to prevent sticking and achieve golden-brown pancakes.
  • For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients.
  • You can substitute whole wheat pastry flour with all-purpose flour if preferred, but whole wheat adds more fiber.
  • Serve with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
  • These pancakes can be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
